Your post does not indicate whether you filed a timely Answer to Complaint.

If you did file an Answer, the unlawful detainer case would convert to a regular civil case for damages once possession is no longer at issue (i.e. when you move out). The trial date would likely be set a few months down the road, and would not be proven at the UD trial set for next week.

However, if you did not file a timely Answer, the plaintiff at next week's trial can "prove-up" a judgment against you for restitution of the premises, the unpaid rent as set forth in the 3 day notice, plus holdover daily damages, possible attorney's fees, and court costs.
